Learned and wise 'officials' have used this line from the bent copper on the road side to high court judges, learned folk indeed.

    One more example where an expat pressure group,supported by local lawyers could come in handy.
    Bold press statements combined by the acknowledgement the case is full in the open ,seem to be rather efficient here.
    In this example no one seems to have been hurt severely,but if that would happen, it might turn your stay in Paradise to a real nightmare.

    Cool

    As I was driving today, a motor bike moved from the laft hand side of my car. He seemed to get caugh by my bull bar & fell over, He did jump up & started to come across to my door, I said to him that my bull bar was for motor bike parking only so no problem, but he would need to remove his bike from under my tire if he did not pick it up quickly, two sercuity guards came across from the school to help him. This was at school rush time, on a 3 lane road, some motor bike riders just don't LOOK.
    Remember never jump in front of a mad aussie with a Bull Bar, I can assure you that it will not bend.

    The maddest biggest Aussie I know, a guy who can really FIGHT actually, was in a motorbike accident years ago; the other guy fell, he went there to ask him if he's alright and suddenly there were 8-10 guys and almost beat him to death, he was for months in the hospital, new teethes & metal here & there....don't know if this is the right way Fred, never forget you could be the strongest toughest guy in the world what you want to do against a small fast dude with a knife / gun / 10 friends?

    that's why one shouldn't stop after an accident, but if remorseful drive straight to the police station and report the accident..
    by the way, the don't stop only when the accident happens outside of your 'neighboorhood'...if inside the 'neighboorhood' just stop..unless ofcourse one is a arrogant Bule who has no friends in his neighboorhood
    don't read between the lines..i think the words are clear enough...:)
